On 20 May 1941, Generaloberst Kurt Student's Luftwaffe XI
Fliegerkorps conducted the first operational airborne invasion in
history to seize Crete. Major-General Bernard Cyril Freyberg VC,
2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force, commanded the British forces
defending the island. Freyberg, forewarned of the details of the
invasion, possessed numerical superiority over the enemy, but was
defeated within twelve days. Freyberg, later blamed for the defeat
due to his perceived faulty defensive dispositions, was dealt a
losing hand from the start. His troops consisted of those that
could be rescued from the failed Greek Campaign and lacked
sufficient weapons, communications, and transport to conduct the
defense. Despite the best efforts of the Royal Navy, overwhelming
Luftwaffe air superiority in the absence of the Royal Air Force
isolated Crete and the relentless drive of the attacking German
forces captured it. Poor tactical leadership by Freyberg's
subordinate commanders and their failure to prosecute his
operational plan led to defeat by the barest margin. While a
tactical loss, Freyberg's destruction of the 7th Flieger Division
resulted in Hitler never considering an operational airborne
assault again. Freyberg, although accepting responsibility for the
defeat, should not be held entirely culpable for the loss of Crete.
